ap2s - format files for a postscript printer $ a2ps --sides=duplex foo.c -o foo.ps
prints two pages on side of the paper on both sides into the file foo.ps $ a2ps --highlight-level=heavy twisted.py -o twisted.ps will highlight keywords. $ a2ps -j ap.txt -o ap.png will print the text with borders. Once you are done and are happy with the ps output, send to printer $ lpr foo.ps You can see the ps file and quickly know whether you are doing two side printing. As it will clearly say how many papers will be involved. $ gv foo.ps a2ps is marvelous stuff. It prints C code exceptionally well with right highlighting, emphasis and borders. $ a2ps -1 foo.png -o foo.png will print 1 page on 1 side of the paper. It is a bit cryptic but fantastic tool. Long ago I used this program to create a printout when I went to Tirunelveli, my native place. I had created custom headers and the print output was so pretty that my 80 year old grandfather was amazed. ;) -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
